I've dipped into the industrial logic site from time to time but frankly I never heard of the man until today. [ February 12, 2004: Message edited by: HS Thomas ]

Well, he probably isn't as well-known as Ron or Uncle Bob outside of the XP community. But he certainly has made his name in the community (even before http://industrialxp.org/ ... )

I've had the pleasure of meeting Mr Kerievsky. He's infatuated with games, and runs a lot of hands-on, game related workshops at conferences where he presents XP practices. The book Refactoring to Patterns has been in the works for years now. Anyone know if he's close to publishing it? -Jeff-
